Visualizing Emotions

The ability to measure and track almost everything from food intake, burned calories to location will be culturally absorbed and an accepted everyday technology.

How should this private information be visualised? Words and numbers cannot represent emotional health. How can we benefit from the interpretation? Which decisions should be given to technological systems concerning intimate knowledge and emotions? How do we trust this information will be shared anonymously and responsibly for collective social benefits rather than exploited for commercial gain?

What tools do we need to invent to allow society to reflect and think about individual emotional data?
